CRY Screening

British Fencing is pleased to offer CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young) screening, a service that helps identify undiagnosed heart conditions in young people, at the upcoming Pathway Camp. There are 75 places available, offered on a first‑come, first‑served basis, and a sign‑up link will be circulated ahead of the camp. 

The screenings will take place on 8th April at the Jubilee Campus. Sabre fencers wishing to take part will need to attend Jubilee Campus first and then make their own way to David Ross afterwards. To support logistics, British Fencing will ensure that sabre fencers are screened first.

DiSE sabre fencers who are staying in accommodation organised by British Fencing, will be supported in moving between the venues.

Please note that screening is optional.
